[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dante04SRT:
I've used both, but keep coming back to Andromeda. Both have a semi-stock feel to them, but I've had better GPS luck with Andromeda. PLUS, out of the box, Andromeda has boot animations, WAAAAAYY more ringtones/sounds, and a lot of handy utility apps preinstalled.

I prefer the fact that Andromeda has the 'fixed' TouchWiz; works really nice.

My $.02.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bay_wolf:
Try out Serendipity if you don't mind trying one besides those two. Definitely the most polished (yes even though I have my own Custom ROM I am recommended Serendipity) and best for a beginner. IMO.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
your list is not an accurate comparison. andromeda has 5 locks, removed logs, Da_G's Gps fix, Ad Blocking, modded camera, no phone setup wizard, extended power menu options, HSPA by default anyway. Atrix sounds can easily be found here on the forums. AM/PM toggle, Stay Awake option, and Battery full notification have not been done in Andromeda.

andromeda has multiple keyboards, not just gingerbread.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] axis01:
I think the only real difference is that Cog 4.1 should have the proper drivers for the audience chip, seeing that it's based off the ATT official 2.2. That translates into better sound quality during phone calls. Andro is based off the Armani captivate which apparently doesn't utilize that chip. Andro is great and the one I ran until the ATT dropped 2.2. I had to give it a try. My phone call sound quality seems to be noticeably clearer with ATT 2.2. Once they drop the source, i'm sure the Andro guys will add it in.

Andro also has the Armani wallpapers and ringtones along with a cool intro. A very nice collection of them as well. They are specific to Armani but can be added into the other ROMs as well.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] megarific:
hmm,i saw it,but i wan the original touchwiz:D

Thx guys for the comments,i think i will go with Andromeda :D:D:D:D

btw,where to get the full list of Andromeda features? their website doesnt list everything
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snow_fox:
Try them both out.

I was spoiled by cognition 3.03v my only grip was on certain days at school it was particularly bad about failing to send text.

After it got fried my e71 seems to send them just fine the few days I used it.. only failing to send once or twice. (could also just be a bunch of people might have dropped out last week or two.. it is mid semester).

So I suspect cog 4.1 based on right drivers will be epic.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] megarific:
what r the things that cognition have but andromeda dont? (execpt motorola wallpaper n ringtone)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cezar`:
They are more or less the same.

The real difference is that Andromeda was build from sources and anything that could create problems, lag, was removed before building.

Cognition was "cleaned" after ATT released it.

I liked Cognition for a long time but I got sick of flashing every single day a different version. I see DG stopped releasing so many versions in such a short time frame, i guess because of the Atrix.

Anyway, both of them have the same performance, more or less, i dont know about the gps on Cognition, on Andromeda was pretty good.

If you like real stock, damn, you could even try mine :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vivified:
The biggest difference to me between Cog and i9000 based ROMs is the lack of Voodoo sound because it runs stock kernels, whereas i9000 based ROMS almost always come with a kernel with Voodoo sound.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonieryan:
What is Voodoo sound? I keep hearing about it, but I'm only aware of Voodoo lagfix.
[Android Software Development] Nexeo:
I made a mistake and formatted the hard drive of my old computer and sold it, without backing up my keystore for my app published in the Android Market.

My attempted solution:

Take the version from the market signed with the original key (key A), sign it again with my new key (key B) and upload it to the market. Then I will be able to upload another version signed only with key B.

I successfully signed the application with both keys, the problem is that I can't upload the same application again because the version code is still 10, I need to change it to 11. I've opened the AndroidManifest.xml and found that I can change the irrelevant versionName, but can't find the versionCode in there.

Anyone have any ideas? I would really prefer not to unpublish the application because I rely on the income I make from advertisements in it and I don't want to compromise my downloads/rating/position in the market.

Thanks in advanced to all who provide constructive feedback.
[Android Software Development] Brut.all:
I think Market will require signing by key A in every new version of an app. Otherwise signing would make no sense, because anyone could hack it using above technique.

Second, even if you modify AndroidManifest.xml, then signature for key A will be invalid.

If you have lost your key then you're screwed. I don't think you can do anything, but release new versions of your app as new app - with different package name. Even Google can't help you.
[Android Software Development] Brut.all:
I could try to modify version number in your AndroidManifest.xml file if you really want, but I don't see any sense in this.
[Android Software Development] Nexeo:
The sense/hope was that I could take version 1.9 (currently in the market signed with the now lost key) and sign it again with the new key, then upload it with both signatures as version 1.9.1 so therefore I could upload version 2.0 signed only with the new key. If I had both keys this would be a successful way of switching between keys, but because I do not have both I was hoping to modify the compiled/signed app to change the versionCode (not versionName) from 10 to 11 (so the android market would accept it as a new version) and then sign it with the new key, and somehow make it so the signature with the old key was still valid.

The more I work on this and try the more I realize it's probably not possible. I've tried inserting new MD2 hashes for everything that has changed after I've tried modifying files and such but I always get that the application failed to install on my device...
[Android Software Development] Chalup:
I was just in a similar situation and emailed Google directly. Surprisingly, I received a personally written response. So I can tell you with 100% confidence that you are out of luck: to update a published application you HAVE to use the same digital signature as the original. Otherwise, you'll have to publish the update under a new package name. There is absolutely nothing Google can do. Of course, if you were Angry Birds I'm sure they'd make an exception, but small timers like us are out of luck.
[Android Software Development] Brut.all:
Yeah, you said that already and I gave you two reasons, why you can't do that:

invalid signatures for key A

requirement for key A in all future versions of your app

Google can't do anything even if they want - it's technically impossible. They could replace your app with new one with different package name, then copy all ratings, comments, etc. from old one, but they simply can't change key for existent package name.
[Android Software Development] Rootstonian:
Been there, done that...lost keystores of 3 published apps. Wrote Google too...no joy.

You are puckered :( As am I because I can not post an update to my apps without a new package name. Which of course, leaves all current users unable to get the update without repurchasing.

I wish there was a better way.... we all lose files from time to time. Why not make part of the publish process an upload of your keystore to the Google servers? Seems like a solution to me :)

In the meantime, I now have at least 5 copies of my keystores saved on various medium: e-mails to myself, file server, CD etc. Just have to deal with it I guess :)
[Android Software Development] Nexeo:
Sending the hard drive off to a data recovery company who seems to be pretty confident. Hopefully they can find .keystore files.
[Android Software Development] Nexeo:
I GOT MY KEYSTORE BACK!!!

I used the best f-ing software in the universe to restore the file (it truly is amazing): http://www.ntfs.com/boot-disk.htm
[Android Software Development] generalamerica:
Sweet find, I have all my stuff backed up on an IronKey flash drive. But it's a lot more than just my Keystores, it's also all of my work files and such. If you have some extra money I would recommend one. The only bad thing is the highest model's capacity is 32GB.
[Android Software Development] Brut.all:
I think you don't understand what is this signing for. Its purpose is to make sure you're installing application from original author, not some hacked or infected version. And you want to open some backdoor for installing an application created by different author (no keys = different author). Your "solution" would make signing totally useless.
[Android Software Development] iridaki:
I don't think that's true. Recently, the wildly popular app "Vignette" suffered from pretty much the same issue and had to republish.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rolliesandoval:
My Galaxy S 4g wont let me in!...it wont reach the home screen... a FC error for TW (the application TWLauncher process com.sec.android.app.twlauncher)has stopped unexpectedly. please try again... has been doing this since yesterday.... i cannot...ill say that again..I CANNOT go into recovery or home screen. Help me please.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] deckard67:
are you rooted?

it sounds like your launcher program is not working. If this is the case you can try logging into your android market account on your computer and pushing ADW launcher to your ROOTED android phone.

I am not sure if this will work with a galaxy S device, but I had a similar problem with my rooted mytouch 3g. I installed a custom ROM that had an outdated version of launcher pro. Thus no home screen, and almost no way to get to my applications. I went onto android market and pushed the ADW launcher to my phone. It downloaded and installed, and voila, fixed the problem.

You can give it a try.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rolliesandoval:
yes I'm rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] deckard67:
curious...

did my suggestion work? The one issue is that your interface will no longer look so much like touchwiz.

You might be able to find that original apk somewhere on xda or somewhere else, and then reinstall it.

ADW Launcher or Launcher Pro are both excellent alternatives to the stock launcher that comes with the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rolliesandoval:
Thanks Man! Here are the Instructions!

Thanks Deckard your idea worked! But TW launcher reinstall was unsucceful...I installed Tag Home Launcher and that went great! I had to:

1. Power off Phone.

2. Press Both "Up" And "Down" + The power Button to get to Recovery Menu.

3. Delete all User Data/ Yes

4. Reboot phone

5. On the Tutorial it showed me a link so i clicked it which opened the browser or one can press the search button and say "go to " google dot com"

6. once browser is open go to "market dot android dot com "or simply go to the market web page or simply google tag home launcher apk

7. install then complete the wizard. it will give you the option to select which launcher to use.

8. Done!

But for some reason i still cant use it.

i have to use the Tag Home. Is there anyway to delete TWLauncher?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] krylon360:
get Titanium Backup Free, then browse the installed apps and you can uninstall the TWLauncher
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bartek25:
but if he uninstall TWlauncher and he screws up his Home launcher than it wont be funny at alll FC alll theee way from boot to end , just freeze TWlauncher instead of unistalling it .
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] krylon360:
he can just push the twlauncher back to /system/app if he uninstalls it.
[Desire Themes and Apps] ayk33:
hi all,

is there any updated list of miui application list somewhere? if not we may start over here, to write down the list of miui applications?
[Desire Themes and Apps] prodygee:
What are we talking about? The applications included in the standard installation? Or all standalone apps made by the Miui team?

I know there's a Gallery app, Music app, Weather app. That's all I know for now.
[Desire Themes and Apps] ayk33:
no not apps included in the standard installation, apps which are made only suitable for miui, doesn't matter if the team or any developer does it? just simple list
[HTC Inspire 4G] RacerX10:
How in the hell can they sell this phone so cheap (compared to other phones) ?

It's an amazing device that I'd have easily paid double for (200 vs 100).

I don't need to know about the value of getting people on contract, I'm talking relative to other devices.
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
Shhh! This is AT&T we're talking about. If they knew what a steal this phone is, they would have to "fix the glitch"...
[HTC Inspire 4G] SysAdmNj:
And I did $399 + tax
[HTC Inspire 4G] netnerd:
hey, when you desperate (att), you will do anything!

they even rename their 3G network as 4G! where is FCC or Verizon when you need them??

and dont give me this BS about backhaul not implemented yet until March 1.

today is march 1, what is your next BS excuess att?

i just did a speedtest, speed is same as regular 3G phones!
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
I'm going to say because HTC is awesome....
[HTC Inspire 4G] Hypnopottamus:
If you think about it, now with the iPhone available at Verizon, what other device do they have in their lineup now (besides the Atrix) do they have to "lure" people to AT&T? They don't have ANY wiggle room as of now to be able to compete with the the devices of the other American carriers. They put ALL of their eggs in the iPhone basket and Apple just took that basket and handed it to Verizon!

I think AT&T is playing catch up right now with their Android devices and they NEED to catch people's attention FAST. There's nothing that makes a carrier more attractive than awesome devices priced REALLY cheap!
[HTC Inspire 4G] 2kgt:
at&t didn't rename anything. T-Mobile's 4G network is also HSPA+.

Just because the rollout date for HSPA+ is March, doesn't mean it's for all areas. Nobody has 4G in all areas. Not Verizon, not Sprint, not T-mobile and not at&t.

I just ran a speedtest and achieved 4479 kbps down and 1116 kbps up. Coverage varies by area. It's best to go with the carrier who has the best coverage for where you live.
[HTC Inspire 4G] CommunistDroid:
in "ideal" neighborhoods, people have gotten over 10mbs download using t-mobile's HSPA+ network.

back to the topic, Believe it or not, inspire is last years phone.

its an EVO minus the Wimax, and they added in quadband GSM + UTMS +HSPA+

they need to make room for phones like the Atrix, and AT&T's version of the HTC Thunderbolt.
[HTC Inspire 4G] 2kgt:
Both the Thunderbolt and Inspire are Desire HDs. It has a newer, faster processor than the Evo, more RAM and a new Super-LCD screen, which not many phones have.

[HTC Inspire 4G] 2kgt:
They both have Super LCDs. Many tech sites have confirmed this.
[HTC Inspire 4G] RMXO:
Back on topic. its a win win for us with the pricing.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jc2470:
even att site says super lcd
[HTC Inspire 4G] metaldood:
Thanks to this price now I am a phandroid. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] aw888:
No sure why this phone selling at low price. Amazon has it for $69.99 + Free 2 day shipping, and Radio Shacks has it for 99.99 - $50.00 trading + tax. I got mine at radioshack, and paid about $100 bucks.

Anyhow, this is a great phone, and I am loving it. But the GPS Navigation from Google is a bit slow tho.
[HTC Inspire 4G] MarkPharaoh:
So tired people of calling this an EVO... it's like calling the iPhone 4 a 3GS..
[HTC Inspire 4G] mattbe213:
Some of you guys are total idiots. The Inspire is last years phone?? I'm afraid not. Lol.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bmolloy:
If this is last years phone it is Awesome. I am coming from a Nexus 1, which actually was last years phone, and this phone is a huge step up. Don't get me wrong, I still love the N1, but it has nowhere near the same speed as this phone and the battery life is roughly the same. I think those of us that bought this phone are set up well, we have the best phone available for the time being. The best part is in roughly 18-24 months when AT&T rolls out their LTE network we will have an upgrade available and pounce on whatever the HTC phone they launch with LTE.

Last years phone really rocks in my book.
[HTC Inspire 4G] alex4lex:
This is a solid device priced at a great value. How? AT&T decided to. It's not old/bad hardware by any means.

Processor is also the same processor/gpu combo that both the arc and xperia play are going to be using, and sony DID say that their game market will be expanded to other devices with similar hardware ;-) I mean, if you're into sony games and stuff :cool:

But back to the point, why? COMPETITION! I heard on valentine's day you could get tmob phones for FREE.

Now if this phone were free... I wonder how many new subscribers at&t would get. And that's the point right?
[HTC Inspire 4G] rapidstar:
AT&T priced it low to retain customers or attact new customers. This strategy is working very well as this phone is selling like hotcakes! Even most of the Atrix owners exchaning for Inspire.. I am one of them! :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Cannibul:
There's a coupon in the new Costco coupon book for $100 off the Inspire.

Starts March 10th.
[HTC Inspire 4G] epicKA8:
well i'm gonna go with MAINLY the 4gigs of onboard memory. if it had 16gigs, they'd be charging 200+
[HTC Inspire 4G] aaronpaws:
I know if it werent for the 399 off contract pricing of this device, I would have left ATT the second I switched back to android from the iphone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mayoj7:
The real reason behind the pricing is because at&t ranks dead last with jd power based on equipment and plan pricing. Same reason the 3gs was marked down to $49.
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
Figures...

Yea, 4gigs of which we get about 1
[HTC Inspire 4G] hospadam:
Is there a link to that coupon book? Will that work with the off-contract price too? So - off contract for $300??
[HTC Inspire 4G] freekquency:
Go to radio shack, turn in any old phone that can power ON. (no charger needed).

-$50.00 on your order.

Inspire 4g $99.00

1 virgin mobile

throw away phone $14.00

1 credit for recycled phone -$50.00

total = $64.98

here's the one tricky part: They tax you on what they CLAIM they paid for the device. Which in California @ 8.75 was $42.87 (including throw away phone)

So I saved the price of the tax basically. (grand total $107 out the door)

I went home and got a really old cingular flip phone, brought it back they charged it for me ( had no charger for it and it was dead).

It powered up and i bought a 2nd Inspire for the wife, without having to pay the $14 for a cheapie.

Hope someone gets a good deal outta this, i think its cheapest ive seen posted.

And that 2nd poster is missing ALOT of extra features on this phone.. we have surround (SRS) we have dolby mobile... i could go on.
[HTC Inspire 4G] metaldood:
OR

You could buy on Amazon tax free for $69 upgrade / $59 new.

Tax on cellphones is ALWAYS on full price. Not the tricky part but the Fine print most miss out on.
[HTC Inspire 4G] nacymex:
My thought

Competition and tried and true design. This is the third evelotion - Evo - DesireHD - Inspire. Now with the "S" class of HTC products coming out, this technology will be very dated by July.

I don't care why it is lower because for 400 it is an awesome phone without the added price of ownership :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] poriggity:
I honestly think this is it. Verizon has had some kick ass droid phones for a long time now, and ATT was just not doing ANYTHING about it. Now they are realizing that they really DO need to compete. The ONLY reason I am still with ATT is because I am on a family plan, so my wife and I pay about $40/month for 2 smartphones with unlimited everything, including internet... If I could I would switch to verizon tomorrow. That being said, since I'm sticking with ATT, I am upgrading to the Inspire in a week or so when I am eligible :)

[HTC Inspire 4G] kirbo20:
Only in California that I am aware of.
[HTC Inspire 4G] xKrisx:
I just upraded my third line of service to an inspire and it was free online.. ..
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
Definitely not in Texas. Just standard sales tax on your purchase amount.
[HTC Inspire 4G] POPPY SEEDE:
The phone is 399 same 100 more then iphone. just the contract is cheap besides most people dont get contracts.
[HTC Inspire 4G] secretasianman:
Not in Nevada! They gotta give us some reasons to live out here in the high desert!
[HTC Inspire 4G] rambo6:
It's cheap because it is missing important features:

1) it is not achieving even 3G speeds. This is most likely AT&T's fault. (My MyTouch 4G is 2.5 times faster. I own both).

2) there's no front facing camera. This phone is just a Desire HD with north American 850&1900 radios. Last years phone.

3) It's not an international phone - It doesn't support the 2100 Mhz frequency.

The above are serious flaws and make the Inspire outdated the day it shipped. At least AT&T acknowledges this with a Fair $400 price without contract. AT&T could at least enable the speeds it touts 4G.

I think It's pretty clear what happened here. AT&T got so rich with that Idiot-Phone exclusive that it wasn't ready for the 4G completion from T-mobile and Verizon. So AT&T rushed the Inspire into sevice without their network even prepared to handle it. This is embarrassing and shameful. What kind of operation is De Lavega running. It looks like amateur hour.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] hofuldig:
Well iv had my Zio for a few months now and even with the 2.2 Update sometimes it seems to slow down and stutter.

I have been doing some research on Rooting my phone to get wifi tethering and the ability overclock my phone for better performance.

Now so far the Zio community on here seems to be very small so i dont expect an answer very fast so here is my question.

Has anyone with a Zio Managed to root there phone and overclock it? im not talking about some CRAZY overclock. im thinking in the 50-100MHz range. if so how has the performance increased? or has the performance Decreased? how is the battery life?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Mattix724:
I have attempted such by manually editing some CPU files. I was able to successfully adjust the governor and changed from the stock 95% to 100% CPU threashold.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Mattix724:
So far I would say its a little faster. I definitely see a difference when opening apps and especially with the 2.3 launcher from the market.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Spz0:
Could you list where the CPU files are located m8?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] abmontano:
If your phone is rooted you can use a number of overclock apps, but they use parameters based on te phone the zip is 122.88 to 600 mhz
